Can't a "scratch build" be just promoted to "official"?

Sortof.  You can do a build that isn't scratch, but still doesn't get tagged.  The build option is --skip-tag.  I don't believe we have that hooked into any Make target just yet.  If the build succeeded one could then issue a tag command (koji tag-pkg <tag> <build-n-v-r>) which would make the build "official".
